I was so excited when I found him! I was ready to give up! Wow, gorgeous photos, Jodi. I always look forward to them. Sorry you both took falls on different days but I’m glad you’re both ok. As you say, sometimes we get opportunities to see we really need to cherish those around us! Thanks for sharing your world with us!

so true! It was a scary fall for him. He really doesn’t like me to share all that kind of stuff 🙂 – but I feel like I could have lost him that day – and the blessing in it is that it puts things into perspective! 🙂 Hugs Laura!
